Equivalent properties in Lyndhurst with a long lease are worth £170,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2100

You have 78 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
